What is AAVA? What is Disaster Risk--Whaat?

One of the most well-known villages today, Barangay Ayala Alabang has a lot to brag about. The whole village is estimated to be around 700 hectares and is an official bird sanctuary. These birds make their nests in one of the 9,000 trees growing in the village. In addition to this, the village prides itself on having first-class schools and environmental parks set up all around. AAVA (as it is called) is also very focused on the security of its residents, whether from natural or human activities. Memos and newsletters are given out, each with the latest on-goings and current issues that may affect health and safety. They are well aware of upcoming storms and typhoons, and are sure to alert all residents of the situation of the barangay on their official channel, AAVA News number 9(may vary for other residents). This project aims to be able to observe the other projects AAVA does to protect its residents and learn more about the village’s history and the disasters that have struck this place in the past. Aside from this, it is also important to understand how these disasters affected the village and what AAVA did about them. This Disaster Risk Profile not only aims to understand the what, who, when and where, but also be able to answer the why and how.
